Timing is great, if he is not the man to take us forward and players have lost faith in him then he needed to go, for a few reasons the players have not been playing for him. Every coach good or bad has a sell by date where the same voice/tactics eventually wear thin.

I think once the fans turn on the team and attendances may suffer, you then have to be brave and make that decision.

Hopefully we can now kick on, although who is available that can take us forward remains to be seen

I don't think Brown back would be a good idea- that ship has sailed and too many issues.
As long as it's not macnamara, Harris, Kear or noble then I'll not be disappointed- I'm sure Bobby Goulding was on the phone the minute the news was out Anderson had gone- much as I love Bobby's passion for the game and feel he should be involved in the game in some development capacity he's not head coach material- that appointment would have me running for the hills.

What about a curve ball, Sheens anyone? I'm sure he'd like to get back into coaching full time, in his own right.

I would have Brown, Provided he proved he was really interested, but I would only give him contracts 1 year at a time.
I loved what he did with some of our players. I can see why most wouldn't want him back though.

I agree with you about Mac, Harris and Noble, although Noble has proved he can coach if he can have a team full of N Zealanders. Kear did nothing with us, like a long line of others, but he has done good jobs at other clubs and he appears to have the knack for winning C Cups.

Whoever we get I want someone who can motivate the players first and foremost, It's surprising how some players can improve with the right man behind them, Training is training, and Practise they say makes perfect, Getting players to believe they are winners rather than hoping to be , is a different skill.

If the Brown was Darren now that would be a radical move
